Instructor Krista Conner is the President of the Puget Sound Bee Keepers Association and the Owner of Seattle Bee Works, a company that places honey bee hives with homeowners (hive hosts) across Seattle-helping pollinate local plants and flowers.  Krista’s antibiotic-free beekeeping practices ensure a pure, raw artisan honey that honors the intimate bond between the health of bees and humans.

The class fee for Seattle Bee School is $100.00 per person for the whole three part series.  Paid pre-registration is required and class space is limited to 15 people per class.  Because of the serial nature of this course there will be no registration refunds.  Due to the limited space of the class we recommend you call us to pre-register today to guarantee your spot.  (206)935-9276.

Seattle Bee School Schedule:

Phase I:  Sunday, May 5th, 2013; 4pm to 6pm at West Seattle Nursery.

Phase II:  Sunday, June 23rd, 2013; 2pm to 4pm at West Seattle Nursery.

Phase III:  Sunday, July 21st, 2013; 2pm to 4pm at West Seattle Nursery.

Honey Harvest and Tasting Event to be arranged and announced at a later date.
